A condensed geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and a uniform, heavy stroke. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters in letters like O, D, and P a squared, capsule-like feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, with occasional rounded transitions at joins; the overall rhythm is tight with compact sidebearings and tall, straight stems. Diagonals (K, V, W, X) are sturdy and direct, while bowls and shoulders stay boxy and controlled for a consistent, modular silhouette.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its condensed width and boxy rounding create a strong graphic presence. It works well for tech branding, packaging, labels, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage, and can also serve as an interface or HUD-inspired display face when used with generous tracking.
The font projects a techno-industrial tone with a retro digital flavor, balancing strict geometry with softened corners. Its condensed stance and squared counters suggest signage, machinery labeling, or sci‑fi interface typography—confident, efficient, and slightly futuristic without feeling playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that feels engineered and modern, using rounded-rectangle geometry to unify the alphabet and maintain clarity at larger sizes. Its consistent stroke and squared counters emphasize a modular, system-driven look aimed at contemporary display typography.
Uppercase forms read especially uniform and architectural, while lowercase keeps the same squared logic, producing a highly consistent texture in paragraphs despite the display-forward shapes. Numerals are similarly constructed with squared apertures and sturdy vertical emphasis, reinforcing a utilitarian, system-like character.
